To find the unit rate (ratio of feet to minutes) of Roger Bannister's running pace, we need to divide the distance ran by the time taken.
Roger Bannister ran 5.280 feet in 4 minutes.
To find the unit rate:
\[ \text{Unit Rate} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}} = \frac{5.280 \text{ feet}}{4 \text{ minutes}} \]
Now, perform the division:
\[ \text{Unit Rate} = 1.32 \text{ feet per minute} \]
Thus, the ratio of the two units is 1.32 feet per minute.
